RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES

• Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Refer to the application instructions for specifc
primers and intermediate coats for application and curing procedures. Ensure epoxies are free from amine blush prior to
overcoating. All previous coats must dry and free of contaminants. Adhere to all minimum and maximum topcoat times
for specific primers and intermediate coats. Aged epoxy coatings require abrading prior to applying the product. A test
patch over unknown coatings is recommended.
• See specific primer for surface preparation information on various substrates
